Shared governance is a concept that has been gaining popularity in the nursing field. It is a framework that allows nurses to have a greater role in clinical decision-making. This approach recognizes the expertise and knowledge that nurses possess and allows them to be active participants in the decision-making process. It is a way to empower nurses and to ensure that the best possible care is being provided to patients. By promoting shared governance, nurses are able to work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals and provide high-quality care that is evidence-based and patient-centered. This article presents data that was collected in an empirical study to investigate the impact of implementing a shared governance model on the perceptions of professional governance among nurses working in a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia by measuring the level of shared governance from the lowest level, the traditional governance level (management and administration only), to the highest level, the self-governance level (staff only), through six dimensions of nursing professional governance, including personnel, information, resources, participation, practice, and goals. The study was conducted over 8 months between July 2022 to February 2023 with the involvement of a random sample of 200 clinical nurses who completed a structured questionnaire before and after the study interventions as part of quasi-research. The interventions included designing and implementing a shared governance model, and providing a shared governance training to clinical to nurse participants. The pretest-posttest experimental group showed that there were improvements in the level of shared governance (shared governance level - primarily management/administration with some staff input), which denotes the effectiveness of nursing professionals governance training among nurses working in a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. The data used in this study can be utilized by future studies for benchmarking purposes.

BACKGROUND: To ensure best possible patient outcomes, patient safety is a major component of healthcare delivery system that needs to be prioritized. Safety practices among nurses are essential to maintain patient safety, especially the practices of medication administration, handover, patient falls and unplanned extubations prevention.
PURPOSE: To investigate the mediating effect of patient safety culture between the relationship of transformational leadership and safety practices among nurses.
METHODS: The data in this cross-sectional study were gathered from a survey targeted clinical nurses using a random sampling technique. The study was conducted in a medical city in Saudi Arabia, and two hundred nurses were surveyed. The Multifactor Leadership, Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, and Nursing Safety Practice questionnaires were used in the study.
RESULTS: The results revealed significant positive associations between transformational leadership, patient safety culture, and nursing safety practices. Moreover, patient safety culture mediates the association between transformational leadership and safety practices among nurses.
CONCLUSION: Enhancing transformational leadership capabilities among nurse managers should be considered in order to improve nursing safety practices. Additionally, patient safety culture should be measured and improved periodically to ensure better nursing safety practices.
